Yup, gettin’ plumb Christmasy around here. Tyler is home and sleeping on the couch (for probably the last time, pretty much) I suppose when he is a priest we will have to let him have a room, huh? 🙂
Gramma and Hope have got Christmas stuff hung and scattered around. Mother Nature helped with a white Christmas, tho being a rancher I always enjoyed the brown ones!
I hung the jingle bells on the harness for the team the other day tho truth be told I haven’t used them since. Used the tractor the last couple days to feed and as it has warmed up and the wind isn’t blowing a tear the cows can go graze and eat their extruded soybean. (44% protein and 12% fat) They really don’t need any hay. I might take the team and feed them on Christmas day as all the kids but Tyler have plans somewhere else and Gramma has to work until 2 that day and also Christmas Eve.
By the way, music starts at about 3:30 Christmas Eve and Church at 4:30 at St Anthony’s at Red Owl. If your in the neighborhood, feel free to drop in. We’d all love to have you. We always need more voices to help sing! And our new priest Fr Marchin is a dandy! He’s originally from Poland and sharp as a tack and gives a great talk every week. (Well, every week he’s been able to come. The weather has cause cancellation the past two week ends!)
If I didn’t tell you before, I hope you and yours have a blessed Christmas!
It’s about the presence, not the presents! 🙂

Merry Christmas, JB, to you and yours! Nice post. Give my respect to Deacon Tyler, and rustle up some mistletoe for Gramma and you. We are cold and overcast today, about 2 F above. No new snow forecast, though. (The lost has been found on the sourdough.)
